Conclusion
Problems of investigating the consolidation of soils of the body and foundation of a dam, seepage, including consideration of the nonlinearity of the physical equation, and stress-strain state of dams in two- and three-dimensional formulations have been practically removed from the agenda. Problems of the reliability of converting from SSS to stability and optimization of the design of hydraulic structures with consideration of industrial methods of construction are being solved. The introduction of probabilistic methods of evaluating the SSS and stability of dams and combination of probabilistic methods with methods of optimization of designs serves to accelerate construction.
